Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Obagi Nu-Derm System?

Over the years, your skin has been exposed to a number of environmental stressors, which cause damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun’s harmful rays, is the main cause of the fine lines, wrinkles and age spots that you may already see or you will eventually see on your face.

The Nu-Derm System is the physician-dispensed, prescription-strength skin care system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level. By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of your skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger- and healthier-looking skin.

What are the effects of photodamage on your skin?

As your skin ages and is exposed to UVA and UVB rays, the turnover of skin cells slows significantly, throwing off the balance between the growth of healthy new cells and the sloughing of old, damaged cells. Additionally, collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to lose resilience resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Daily exposure to UV light then accelerates this aging process and may cause uneven colouring.

Signs of photodamage and aging

  • Age spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rough skin
  • Skin laxity
  • Erythema (Redness)
  • Sallowness (Complexion)
  • Hyperpigmentation (Discoloration)

How does the Nu-Derm System transform your skin?

The Nu-Derm System penetrates below the surface of your skin to transform skin cell functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within.

Using a specific dose and frequency that’s recommended specifically by your skin care professional for your skin condition, the prescription-strength system exfoliates old skin leaving healthy, new skin that looks and acts younger and healthier.

What can I expect from the treatment?

During treatment you can expect to experience four phases as you undergo transformation to a more healthy and younger-looking appearance. The length of time between the phases will vary based upon multiple factors including patient age, skin type, amount of damage and daily compliance.

The Obagi system penetrates the deepest layer of skin to correct the signs of aging. During treatment you may notice:

  • Freckles, age spots and uneven dark patches beginning to fade
  • Redness, dryness and flaking of skin
  • Acne or wrinkles may look worse temporarily

As stimulation continues, you begin to notice significant improvements in your skin. Normal healthy cells are moving to the skin’s surface faster, melanin cells are distributed more easily and collagen and elastin production is increased. You can expect to see:

  • Reduction of wrinkles
  • Further fading of freckles and dark spots
  • Tightening of pores
  • Subsidence of redness and flaking

All skin cells are in the process of transformation and receiving an increased supply of nutrients. Healthy, strong collagen and elastin production continues and skin is smooth, naturally hydrated, evenly coloured and more resilient. Your skin is now looking and acting healthier and younger.
As the skin begins to tolerate the products and the reactions subside, your skin will look and feel much improved.
These are all normal reactions and indicate that the treatment is working. This phase typically lasts for up to 6 weeks during which time you will notice a visible improvement.

You have now achieved healthier and younger looking skin, with the help of the Nu-Derm System. To maintain your skins condition, it is important to integrate Nu-Derm as a permanent part of your daily skincare regime. By continuing with the treatment protocol, you can expect to:

  • Maintain skin that is healthy and youthful
  • Help to prevent future damage
  • Improve the anti-aging effects of your daily routine of skincare

What is the difference between the Nu-Derm System and products purchased from department stores, drug stores and infomercials, etc?

The products in the Nu-Derm System are clinically proven, prescription-strength, ingredients that work at the cellular level to improve your skin cell function. Products purchased from a retail store are cosmetic-based products that do not contain prescription-strength ingredients.

How quickly will I see results when using the Nu-Derm System?

Your individual prescribed protocol and frequency of use should be determined by your skin care professional, but you can typically expect visible improvements in four to six weeks.
